Chapter 995: Cooperation
05020101010101 Meng Changqing went out alone after dinner, I wanted to follow, but he refused. He asked me to spend more time with my grandparents at home.
And my grandparents came out after washing the dishes and saw that Meng Changqing was gone, and hurriedly asked me where he was, and when I said that he went out, my grandparents began to reprimand me for being ignorant. Said that the guest could not be left alone, what if I met a dog or got lost, and asked me to go to him quickly.
I was a little dissatisfied, one was my master, he didn't let me go, and the other was a grandparents, and they let me go with me, and it was always the middleman who was in trouble.
According to the principle of who is listening to whom. I responded to my grandparents' words and went out to find Meng Changqing. Private Sacred Field.
At this time, Meng Changqing didn't know where to go, and I looked for it aimlessly after I went out. During the period, he shouted a few times, but he didn't answer.
At the top of the village is a hill. The whole hill was built with graves, and the village would be buried there when they died, and for generations, it was already crowded with graves.
I thought to myself that Meng Changqing would like such a place, so I picked up a stick on the ground and walked towards the hill.
The people of the village did not allow children to come here, saying that children did not know how to be polite, and if they came here to do something wrong, they would offend the ancestors buried here.
Because they have said so, I have come here with great care, and after entering the hill I walked from grave to grave, avoiding them as much as I could, so as not to touch a shred of dirt on them.
Some of these tombs have fallen into disrepair, while others have recently been newly built and are still being tended to and look much cleaner.
I avoided one grave after another, and stopped when I was almost at the back of the hill, and when I entered the hill, I was not very afraid, and the more I went inside, the more I feared, because it was easy to escape outside, but it was difficult to escape inside, and I wondered if I had to go any further.
After struggling for a while, I decided to move on.
There is another reason why I don't want to go there, that is, the people in my own village must be closer, and even if I become a ghost, I must see that I am in the face of the people of the same village, and the people in other villages are different.
Thinking about it, I didn't stop at my feet, and looked over the hill, and the graves here were basically unattended.
Most of the people from the next village were taken to the city by their descendants, and they did not return for several years, and the graves were naturally deserted.
I was stunned for a moment, and then I walked down, and these tombs were generally so low that I could pop up with a head if I stood upright, except for one grave, which was much taller than me.
The tomb is divided into two parts, the first is a gate made of stone, and the other is the main body of the tomb.
On either side of the stone gate are two tablets, on which the inscriptions have been wiped clean. However, the tombstone on the front of the tomb is more clearly written.
I looked here, the name on this tombstone turned out to be Ye Hai, I was taken aback when I saw it, in just a few days, I saw Ye Hai's grave for the second time.
This tomb was here when I was born, it can't be aimed at me, I think it's just a duplicate name.
Since I knew the duplicate name, it aroused my interest even more, squatted in front of the tombstone and looked at it, and after reading it, I said: "You have the same name as me, and I will bring you some next time I come to burn paper." "
I regretted it after saying it, isn't this taking trouble on myself, and the other thing is, after saying it, I always feel like the people inside heard it.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and then he simply ran back into the house.
When he returned to the house, Meng Changqing had already returned, and he didn't go back in the afternoon, but sat there with his grandfather and chatted lamely.
Our hometown dialect is still relatively easy to understand, but it was a little rusty at first, Meng Changqing listened to it for a while, and he could barely guess what my grandparents said.
After they chatted for a while, I remembered Ye Hai's grave in the afternoon, so I asked, "Grandpa, I saw a Ye Hai behind the hill today." "
Grandpa frowned when he heard this, revealing his trademark Yan sรน expression and said, "I told you that you can't go, you can't go there next time, it's not good if you collide with your ancestors." "
I sighed and asked again, "Grandpa, do you know that Ye Hai?" "
Grandpa nodded: "When your second grandmother gave you the name Ye Hai, I objected, how miserable that Ye Hai died, every time I call you, I always think of him." "
"How did he die?"
"I was killed. He was an intellectual, sent down from above to guide the work of the brigade, and lived at his sister-in-law's house since he came here. He was safe for a while at the beginning of his coming, but after living in his sister-in-law's house for a long time, he began to change sex, cheating with his sister-in-law every day, when his eldest brother was at home, he took his sister-in-law to the woods, and when his brother went out, he stole it with his sister-in-law at home. Once, when I went to look for his eldest brother, I ran into a good thing about the two of them, and they begged me not to tell me about it, and said that they would not be in the future, and I saw that they seemed to be sincerely repentant, so I thought they didn't see it. "
I listened to it with relish, and was about to listen to the following story when my grandfather suddenly took the time to say, "You have to check some outside in the future, don't mess around with some indiscriminate girls." "
I nodded in agreement, and said, "And then?" "
"And ah, the two of them didn't repent at all, they still stole every day, I saw that his eldest brother provided him with food and shelter, and he also cuckolded his eldest brother, I wanted to remind him several times, but his eldest brother was impulsive, and I was afraid that his eldest brother would know that something would happen. I was concerned about their safety, so I didn't break through the matter. But the paper couldn't hold the fire, and once his eldest brother went to work in the field, and when he came home for tea halfway through the work, he happened to bump into their good deeds. This Ye Hai is also at the time of damning, although he is an intellectual, but he is five big and three thick, it was not a problem to win against his eldest brother, but he panicked at the time, and hid under the bed when he got out of bed, how could he stretch under the bed. His brother was so angry that he directly picked up the bamboo broom used to sweep the floor and poked it under the bed, and the poke went down, and it only took a few strokes to poke him to death under the bed. "
The brooms in the countryside are made of bamboo branches, and after a few sweeps, the soft parts will be sharpened, and the remaining hard parts will also be sharpened, and poking a person is no different from a knife poking on the body, no wonder he will be poked to death under the bed.
Meng Changqing and I listened to this story very patiently, thinking that this was the end, but grandpa said another paragraph later.
"His eldest brother is a good-looking person, and his family ugliness is not publicized, so he still buried Ye Haihou. After burying him, I was in trouble, Ye Hai's eldest brother knew from his mother-in-law that I knew about it, and he ran to my house that night, picked up the bench and said that he would stone me to death, if someone hadn't stopped me, I might have been beaten to death by him now. His eldest brother blamed me for not reminding him of this, and laughed at him for cuckolding behind his back. Not only that, but his mother-in-law also shamelessly ran to the door of my house every day to scold, she thought I was the secret. I couldn't sleep because I was struggling with this matter, but soon after, his mother-in-law died, and Ye Hai's eldest brother said that she was sick and died, and we all knew that where she died of illness, he killed her. After Mrs. Ye Hai died, I dreamed of her every day, and she had to strangle me in her dreams, saying that I leaked her secret, and the man would beat her to death. Anyway, I didn't sleep well in those days, so it was better to ask your second grandmother to watch it later. "
After Grandpa finished speaking, he stopped talking, I thought about it for a while, and asked, "Is his eldest brother still alive?" "
"Dead, died before you were born, buried next to Ye Hai's grave, his mother-in-law, it seems that she was also buried in that place, he didn't buy a coffin for his mother-in-law, he threw it directly into the pit and filled it, and he didn't even repair a mound, we don't know where his mother-in-law's grave is."
After Grandpa told this story, he told us other stories, Meng Changqing was here, and he specially told some things about Taoist priests, saying that there was a very powerful Taoist priest here in the past.
Meng Changqing just smiled when he heard him talk about the Taoist priest so godly, but didn't say anything.
In the afternoon, Meng Changqing was not in a hurry to go out, and listened to his grandfather's nonsense here until his grandmother called us to eat in the evening.
In the afternoon, I told my grandmother about Meng Changqing's lack of meat, because I said that most of the dishes in the evening were vegetarian dishes. Meng Changqing also ate more than at night.
Meng Changqing listened to his grandfather's speech all afternoon, and now he can basically understand what his grandfather said, except for a few words that are too different from Mandarin.
After dinner, Meng Changqing asked his grandfather to take him to every house in the village, and his grandfather happened to be idle, so he took him with joy.
Naturally, I am indispensable for them to go out.
Meng Changqing really visited one by one, and they all welcomed Meng Changqing, and every family basically said these two words.
The first sentence is to invite Meng Changqing to his house for dinner tomorrow, and the second sentence is to let Meng Changqing have time to help them look at this and that, some help to look at the well, some ask him to help look at the cemetery, and some ask him to help see a doctor.
For these, Meng Changqing replied with the same word: "I try to help." "
When he visited the fifth household, Meng Changqing was chatting happily with the villagers, and someone knocked on the door.
